We stuff things with it (Cannelloni,Rotolo, shells!
), welayer thingswith it, weroll it up in puff pastryand wewrap it in pastry.
So why dont we stir it through pasta bakes?
This is a lazy Monday meal Ive been making for years.
I know its a little different, but it really is tasty.
It tastes like spinach and ricotta cannelloni or stuffed shells but without the labour.
Look at this pile of gooey, juicy deliciousness….no dry ricotta in MY pasta bakes!
Shake and pour pasta sauce!
Because this is a lazy meal, I make this with myshortcut homemade pasta sauce.
To compensate for skipping the sauteed garlic and onions, I add extra flavours into the sauce.
Tomato passata is pureed strained raw tomatoes, unflavoured.
Or sub with what you know astomato sauce.
What goes in Spinach Ricotta Pasta Bake
Heres a snapshot of the ingredients.
For convenience, I usefrozen spinachhere but fresh can be used in a cinch.
As for thericotta, any punch in will work here.
Some are creamier and softer than others which makes it easy to mix into the pasta.
This really does taste like a Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni* without the fiddly stuffing of the cannelloni tubes.
All things Spinach and Ricotta!
